And I'm sure he would support you." I'm was beginning to think itmight be me. "I'm sure, even if not, you would never lose a friendshipover it." I'm so glad you feel that way Chris" he reached down and took my hands.We both looked down and looked back up at the same time. As our eye met, Isaw his head twist every so slightly. One day I warned her, OK, this will be my last message let me know about you or stop sending messages to me. She said ok I will tell you and she sent a mail to me with her pictures with all the details. Mail was well explanatory and I understood she was one of my students. But, I was not able to recall her and anyways who cares.? We stared chatting and shared our cell numbers. We started talking each other. She was in Varanasi and I was in Lucknow.One day I asked her do u like me? She replied. "He was Ellen Page, mom," he pointed out. "That Canadian actress thatyou liked in that movie ?Juno? and in ?The Umbrella Academy.? Heannounced that he was transgender and now goes by Elliot." Oh," Lucy nodded. "I didn?t know that. And did Elliot?s story impactyour decision to become Ali?" No," Alex shook his head, "in fact I barely took notice of the storywhen it came out, but I did admire his courage. Now, I guess I admire iteven more. I?m going to be honest with everyone starting with the. Trouble on the tube.' I ordered her a large glass of wine and she sat down opposite me. We chatted so easily, like we'd known each other for years. We talked about our day, the ups and downs of office politics, what was happening in the news that day. We had another drink, then another.As I set the latest round of drinks on the table I sensed a change in the atmosphere, there was a certain electricity. She looked into my eyes as I sat down. 'I've been thinking about you all day' she said.
